IMHO Kenny wouldn't last pissing time in English League Football. He's had a reasonable time from the media thus far, WCQ are a different ball game, the heat is about to be seriously turned up in the Spring. I think he'll crack early.

Sounds like you are wishing it to happen.   True supporters get behind the team and then if things don’t go well at the end of the camping express their views. 

You seem to want to preempt that based on a prejudiced view he is not up to the job.

Were any of the Kenny detractors impressed with how he had the Under 21s playing? Many countries promote their national managers based on that work alone. So I don't get why he's labelled with only successful in a mickey mouse league like the LOI. 
It would damage this forums' reputation

the game has not been played and we have not lost to Luxembourg.  So you are firing a man for a game that has not even happened.

Not wishing it, that is pathetic. I am behind the team, which why I was so infuriated.
 
Not pre-empting anything, just passing judgement on 8 games coupled with no to top level experience and his two biggest jobs being failures.

I would say give 12 years at $150,000 a year sure everybody would be happy on here apart from a few that is .

Strawman argument used when you know you have lost the debate.  Nobody is saying that.  Most are saying things need to
Improve and that a review should be carried out at the end of the qualifiers. 

It’s a small tiny cohort on here who want a dismissal now after 8 games.  Crazy stuff. 
It's difficult to see Kenny surviving two defeats in March. We would almost certainly not qualify. Despite the dire financial situation, losing at home to Luxembourg might be a bridge too far for the FAI. No one wants to see Kenny (ie Ireland) fail - it's his ability to succeed that's under debate. 
So you think the fai would be able to afford sacking Kenny after two games and then pay another manager for the remainder of a campaign that there would be absolutely 0% chance of salvaging if we lose the first two games? What planet have you been living on?
The same planet as you. The one that has witnessed the biggest downturn in Irish international football in 50 years. The same one that - in the scenario I outlined  - could leave Ireland with one goal in 10 games and close to WC death. Results keep the game and the finances afloat - not tactical daydreams. If fans were allowed in March there would follow a massive backlash if Luxembourg won. So much peripheral industry depends on a competitive international side.  The FAI would come under pressure to act and likely seek sponsorship for change - despite the small chances of qualifying. 
It seems like your in dreamland if anything. IF fans were allowed in, IF we lose to Luxembourg, IF the fai could afford it. I can tell you for a fact that two out of those three are certainly not happening and who knows what the result against Luxembourg will be. Your completely missing the point that even if we do lose the first two games the fai would have to pay off Kenny, pay a new manager and as for seeking sponsorship you just be codding yourself to think that an association who can’t even get a main sponsor on board will get someone to pay for a new manager for a campaign that would already be over. Anyone that doesn’t think Kenny will finish the campaign out is deluded.

It's called speculation, opinion, comment - it's rife on football forums, or hadn't you noticed while regaling your buddies with ripper yarns about your mickey and your sore hole?

Think you will find its unusually someone else micro Mickey rather than my own LOL

There was a time when sl*gginf and banter like.that was common place on this site and friendships were made off the back of it..   but now we have the toxic humourless entitled brigade who believe they deserve success or deserve victories and have no sense of reasoning and calm heads.  It's common on Twitter also this type of black and white view of the world without an appreciated of nuance and mitigating factors etc.   

I dont mind saying it but the site was a far better place when there was good humoured sl*gging amongst acquaintances but also an appreciation we were all in the same boat and get behind the team

We are all on the same boat, it's just that some of us think that the boat is going in the wrong direction.

We can't actually afford many.
 
I'm always surprised Ian Dowie has been out of work for so long, he was a reasonable manager. No job in ages.

Very profound. You championing nuance is hilarious. I support the team too! I hope SK succeeds, as should all supporters. My big crime, apparently, is that I don't think he will succeed and by being totally unintimidated  by the loud backlash. Please don't let me compromise your yearning for those good old bawdy, sl*gging and sledging days when everyone agreed with you. Cheer up, many still do. 

I don’t want everyone to agree with me.  It’s no problem thinking that Kenny may not be the best Ireland manager that we could have but it’s another thing not to give him a chance like all other Ireland managers have got. Yourself Murph and AVFC have not given him an inch since he got the job and indeed Murph was sharpening his knife before he even took charge of his first game.  
It’s just classic the modern football fan who acts like a spoilt child.
